Clinical studies

For drugs and therapies to be developed for PKD, clinical studies must be conducted. Patients play a key role in the research and development process by volunteering to participate in clinical studies. From observational studies to clinical trials, you can help researchers unlock the secrets of PKD and find a treatment by participating in a study.

Know what’s happening with Alerts and updates

One of the largest impediments to clinical trial patient participation begins with awareness. We believed it was our goal to address this challenge and launched the Clinical Trials Awareness Program (CTAP), an aggressive program to increase awareness of PKD clinical studies among patients and families. The goal is to simplify the process of finding clinical studies for PKD patients in their geographic area by sending Accelerating Clinical Trials (ACT) alert emails about studies that are being conducted.

We are the only organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to finding treatments and a cure for PKD to improve the lives of those it affects. Our vision is that one day no one will suffer the full effects of PKD.
